Thing #2 Glogster, Hanging by a Voice Thread

I REALLY want to learn about Glogster and Voice Thread and I just can't seem to string enough uninterrupted time together to get far enough in either one to get the job done.

I want to create a Glogster to overlay our Curriculum wiki opening screen and jazz it up a bit. It is not the concept of what to do that is getting in my way. I really do understand how to do it, but between the zillion choices that I HAD to go thru and all the color changes I insisted needed to occur, I kept forgetting there is no way to save a partially made Glogster...it is either all or nothing!! Grrr.

Tonight I decided to move onto Voice Thread. I created an account and then carefully re-registered for an educational account because I thought I saw where a basic k-12 account was free. However, after filing out several information sheets and getting the email that signified I was accepted, every time I tried to move forward to actually creating something, I kept getting a pop up asking for $60 dollars!!

So I quit that also...for now! I will try again to see exactly how I went from free to 60 in less than 6 minutes! A challenge for another day. I am only temporarily defeated.
